A Color Controller for a Luminaire
First Claim
1. A color controller for a luminaire, the color controller comprising:
- a thru-converter operative to convert an input signal to at least one luminaire drive signal;
an illumination sampler arranged to sample an output from the luminaire and generate a representation thereof; and
a feedback controller arranged to receive said output representation and generate an updatable conversion factor in cooperation with calibration luminance and color values,wherein said thru-converter operation is responsive to a trigger signal for defining a first and a second mode, said first mode for generating said luminaire drive signal for the luminaire responsive to said input signal being a frame luminance signal and target color signals and wherein said conversion to said at least one luminaire drive signal is responsive to an updatable conversion factor, and said second mode for generating said luminaire drive signal for the luminaire responsive to said feedback controller.

Abstract
A color controller for a luminaire constituted of: a thru-converter operative to convert an input signal to at least one luminaire drive signal; an illumination sampler arranged to sample an output from the luminaire and generate a representation thereof; and a feedback controller arranged to receive the output representation and generate the updatable conversion factor in cooperation with calibration luminance and color values, wherein the thru-converter operation is responsive to a trigger signal for defining a first and a second mode, the first mode for generating the luminaire drive signal for the luminaire responsive to the input signal being a frame luminance signal and target color signals and wherein the conversion to the at least one luminaire drive signal is responsive to an updatable conversion factor, and the second mode for generating the luminaire drive signal for the luminaire responsive to the feedback controller.

17. A method of color control for a luminaire, the method comprising:
-
converting a frame luminance signal and target color signal, responsive to an updatable conversion factor, to a first luminaire drive signal; generating, responsive to a trigger signal, a second luminaire drive signal, said second luminaire drive signal being responsive to calibration luminance and color values; sampling an optical output of the luminaire driven responsive to the second luminaire drive signal; generating, responsive to said sampled optical output, a revised conversion factor; and updating said updatable conversion factor with said revised conversion factor. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
